predator prey-
I saw a dragonfly fighting with a bee, the dragonfly will eat the bee if it wins. I saw many bees and few dragonflies so maybe bees are on the rise right now ans dragonflies have just begun recovering from a decline due to overfeeding, and overpopulation.

mutualism-
Between pollinators (i.e. bees, butterflies, herbivorous flies, etc.) and pollinated (any type of plant with something that produces pollen or spores). The bees or butterflies will eat something from the plant, or directly collect pollen, and when they go to their next meal on another plant, the pollen that was caught on their legs will be transferred onto that plant. pollinating it, and fertilizing its seeds.

parasitism-
OMG HEY you know that orange crab bug thing that i found??? I think it might be a varroa mite!

A honey bee mite has been discovered at a bee farm in Manoa, Oahu, after abandoned hives from Makiki Heights were relocated to the property last week. Varroa mites were detected on bees in three of the abandoned hives on April 6 by the beekeeper and reported to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture

The varroa mite is considered one of the most serious honey bee pests and occurs almost worldwide. Hawaii had been one of the few places where the mite was not known to occur. It is not known at this time how the mites were introduced to Oahu. So far, surveys conducted on hives in the Tantalus, UH-Manoa and Makiki area have detected varying degrees of infestation of the mite.

HELP ME REPORT THIS PLEASE DR. STRANG

competition-
Between plants for sunlight, a larger surface area takes up others sunlight, allowing the plant with more surface area better photosynthesis.

All organisms for the limited water, which can be found In may ways, some bugs may eat a plant for water, which could possibly spark a competition for that water-plant source.


invasive species-
All ants on Hawaii are invasive species.I saw some ants carrying a dead fly, and a dead bee, and they would try to eat anything else they could as well. Though not many people will be disappointed with the disappearance of flies, they are native, and they are endemic, so their deaths may be extinction.
